I'll be riding at Badlands March 22 with the Hoosier Cruiser crew. All are welcome. See the thread in the Hoosier Cruiser clubhouse section.
Also planning on CMCC and Yankee Toys Fall Gathering in NH in Oct.
Beyond that a few "local" rides with Hoosier Cruiser, BBS and ????.

I'm planning on CMCC, but that is contingent on logistical issues that remain from last year.
We'll prolly stay at the hilton or sumthin. Just not that same campground.
Nick, what kinda junk are you wheeling?

...or what's left of one anyway... Still has a 2F but now TBI'd followed by an SM465/4.7 Toybox/stock 4sp t-case which is connected to a welded 14 bolt with disk brakes and 5.13 gears in the rear and a custom hi-pinion D60 in the front. Front also has 5.13 gears, but on an ARB instead of welded, chromo shafts, Longfield u-joints and drive flanges. All sprung over with flipped stock springs on 42 x 17 Swamper IROK's mounted on H2 wheels. Reworking the winch mount now (my Ramsey 9.5e didn't fit the bent 8274 mount). Will be reworking the top bars on the cage, swapping in a one ton truck master cylinder, moving the seats back so's I fit in a less folded manner and adding traction bar. Further into the summer the 4sp t-case is being swapped out for a minitruck case (rear axle is centered but the current t-case is not: funky driveshaft angles are not cool IMHO).
Long as I plan far enough in advance to save up fuel $$$ I should be able to make a few rides this year.

I am definately doing the ttora run, looks like I might even lead a trail or 2.
Anyone wanna head down there sometime in may? or June?
Marty,
Late May might work for me. Depends on having $$$ for fuel of course. Would like to check that place out on a low key ride. Better if it's a long weekend deal so we can wheel a couple days. Makes the cost hurt less. I'm willing to use a vacation day or two if it works out that way.

I'll do some checking with the boss and see what works for her. Obviously Mothers day is in there somewhere. But I could possibly do Memorial day? probably crowded? or the last weekend/first weekend of June. I'll have a tough time keeping up with you and Nick, but I understand that there are a lot of bypasses on some of the big obstacles.

I will check Pirate, I think there is Memorial run that is big.
There are bypasses, and if this works I will bring my son so I will not being going crazy and also I can't drive for chit.

Marty,
While I like the long weekend idea of Memorial Day I REALLY don't wanna deal with the traffic...both gettin there and on the trails. First weekend of June sounds good too. Much after that and it gets too close to CMCC. I'll need time to fix whatever breaks in Harlen ya know...
Oh, while my truck might have a few mechanical limitations the biggest issue is the driver and his lack of experience wheeling this rig. Goofing around here in the back yard is helping me get more comfortable with the rig but I don't have much more than a couple berms and ditches to play in. I can flex the rig out and have air under the tires but it's not the same as playing on a nice rock garden...
